the college canteen.
To study and maintain biodiversity of campus.
To quantify carbon foot print and find out solutions to minimize it.
To support and implement „Swach Bharat Aabhiyan‟.
The Context
Clean environment is the basic necessity for human being for health and efficiency. Mostly
limited availability of public transport compelled increased use of personal vehicles which is one
of the reasons to increase pollution in and around campus. Chemical experimentation in the
Progressive Education Society‟s Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Shivajinagar, Pune -5 67
college laboratories emits green house gases (GHG). It adds to the environmental pollution. Water
is scarce natural resource hence needs to be used rationally. Solar energy can be the potential
replacement for conventional electricity.
The Practice
The Green Campus Initiative practices are as follows:
Green Audit :
College consulted Dr. Sunil D. Kulkarni for quantifying the green house gas (GHG) emitted
on the campus for the academic year 2014-2015. The green audit report is prepared by
adhering to the standards provided by ISO/DIS 14067, 2012 and report was submitted in July
2015. The GHG quantification is done in terms of carbon foot prints (CFP). The carbon foot
prints are expressed as Carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e). Twenty nine departments of the
college were audited for the emission of GHG directly or indirectly.
Biodiversity audit :
The Biodiversity audit was conducted for our college during the period from May 2015 to
June 2015. The report of “Biodiversity Assessment of Modern Educational Campus,
Shivajinagar” was submitted to College authorities.
The study was conducted as a rapid biodiversity survey and systematic photo-documentation
as per the directives given by the Principal, Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce
Pune-05. Hence present study can be considered as a snap-shot of biodiversity of the Modern
Educational Campus area. Systematic documentation coupled with measures for enhancement
and protection will prove to be a prudent step towards „environment protection and green
initiative.
The site visits and the collected database showed following key findings for the Biodiversity
Assessment of Modern College Pune.
Biodiversity study mainly refers to the assessment of biodiversity of Modern college campus.
This has also been referred to as survey of Modern Educational campus
Key findings :
i) A total of 107 species of flora were observed during the biodiversity survey of the
Modern Educational Campus.
ii) 13 species of birds were observed during the survey.
iii) 10 species of butterflies were seen.
iv) 2 species of mammals, 1amphibian specie and 1mollusc species was recorded.
v) 3 IUCN listed species of conservation significance were recorded in the survey.
Results :
The results of the biodiversity survey are as following:
i) The campus demonstrated the presence of more than 15 species of flora which have
been listed under the IUCN Red list.
ii) Out of these 15 species of plants, 3 species, namely Pterocarpus marsupium (Bibala),
Santalum album (Chandan) and Jacaranda mimosifolia (Neelmohar) are listed under the
Vulnerable Category of IUCN Red list.
iii) On similar lines, 11 bird species, 2 mammal species and 1 amphibian species have
been listed under the IUCN Red list.
Nameplates on trees.
Trees are an integral part of human life. To create awareness among people about botanical
name, common name, plant family and significance of these trees we have undertaken a
program to label the road side trees near college campus.
In Nov-2008, nearly 800 tress along the road sides of J.M. Road, F.C. Road, Modern college
Road were identified and nameplates were displayed on tree trunks. During 2013-14 and 2014-
Progressive Education Society‟s Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Shivajinagar, Pune -5 68
15 nearly 350 road side trees along Ghole road and Apte Road were identified and name plates
were displayed on tree trunks.
Biomedical Waste Disposal :
Biomedical waste generated by life science departments of our college is collected
periodically by the PASCO Environmental Solution Pvt. Ltd. for its proper disposal. Our
college has signed MoU with the firm. This company is registered with Pune Municipal
Corporation to treat biomedical waste by various treatments. The company has issued a
certificate to that effect for the period 3/12/2014 to 2/12/2015.
e-waste Management
From 2012 Department of Electronic Science has set in motion the issue of e-waste
management. Due to advancement in technology, number of electronic gadgets are
manufactured and marketed. These products become outdated after few months.Due to less
utility these products are discarded and updated versions are adopted. Since these products
contain some kinds of hazardous materials such as lead, zinc, lithium batteries, tin etc.
Improper disposal of these products is dangerous for living beings. Therefore management of
e-waste is very important issue. e-waste management can be done by number of ways such as
reduce, reuse and recycle. Our college has therefore taken lead and had organized a national
conference „Hazardous e-Waste Management‟ on the same topic. Thus contributing to
creating awareness in the society and minimizing the hazardous effects of e-waste.
Furthermore, our college also conducted a campaign in rural area and Pune city area. A
survey is carried by NSS volunteers in the village Phulgaon. A rally was organised in this
village and volunteers visited the families to explain concept of e-waste management and
collected the data. Students from T.Y.B.Sc. carried out survey for e-waste management
through college research scheme of „Yuva Sanshodhak‟. In December 2013 National
Conference on „Hazardous e-Waste Management‟ was organized by our college. It is
proposed to establish e-waste collection and systematic disposal process through Post
Graduate research centre in Electronic Science.
Biodegradable Urban Waste management
Since January 2010, Department of Zoology is conducting the Integrated Vermitechnology
Training Course (IVTC) in collaboration with a renowned organization „INORA‟ (Institute
of Natural Organic Agriculture), Pune. Two batches are conducted per year. Students and
general citizens enthusiastically participate in this training course.
Use of Renewable Energy
Two solar panels with 1 KW capacity have been installed at roof top. Using these solar panels
we are lighting 25 lamps which are installed in staircase of East wing and 12 lamps in
principal‟s office. The backup of this system is about 6 hours per day.
Solar Distillation Plant having distillation capacity 25 lit. per day is also installed. Department
of Physics has taken initiative in starting renewable energy course as one of the specialized
course at T. Y. B. Sc. and also planning to start Renewable Energy as a specialization course
for M. Sc.
Microscale experiments in Chemistry
The Department of Chemistry is practicing microscale technique in Analytical Chemistry
Practicals. For this purpose special glassware are procured such as Pasteur pipette, Hickman
Head, Hirch funnel and Special microscale methods such as double burette titration are
adopted. This method reduces the volume of solutions required to about one fourth of that in
the traditional method.
Energy audit:
Energy Audit of consumption of electricity in the College was entrusted to „Enrich
Consultants‟ Pune. The objectives of the audit includes study the energy consumption pattern
of the facilities, identify the areas where potential for energy/cost saving exists and prepare
proposals for energy/cost saving along with investment and payback periods.
Progressive Education Society‟s Modern College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Shivajinagar, Pune -5 69
We have implemented no cost and low cost recommendations according to the guidelines
given in Save Energy Program of MEDA.
Energy Audit also gives focused attention to energy cost and cost involved in achieving
higher performance with technical and financial analysis. The best alternative is selected on
financial analysis basis.
Following Energy Efficiency Improvement measures were implemented by the college.
o Automatic Power Factor Correction systems were installed for main building, east wing and
administrative building.
o Energy Saver Circuits were installed for old air conditioners
o Replacing Conventional Ballasts for Fluorescent Tube Lights (FTL) with Electronic Ballasts
o Replacing Tube Lights (FTL) with LED Tube Lights
o Providing Solar PV system for part load operations during day time
o Total savings during the energy audit is estimated at 10.10 Lakhs which is 23 % of the total
energy cost with an overall payback period of 3 Years.
o Rain water harvesting
o Sewage treatment
o Biogas plant near canteen
o Digital herbarium
o Animal dissection simulation
o Zero garbage campus
o e-Governance
o Digital library
Evidence of Success
Electricity failure will not affect the availability of light during the period of power cut by
MSEB due to solar system installation. Especially eastern building gets the benefit.
Electricity bills are reduced and we have achieved 91 power factor for the 7% discount in the
electricity bill.
The college is running vermitechnology training programme since last five years.
Continuous water supply is available even during the period of water scarcity.
Problem of disposal of garbage is solved by Bio-gas plant.
